What You Should Know

You’d find these packaged brioche butter rolls on the supermarket bread aisle or grabbed for a weekend brunch, family dinner, or picnic when you want something soft and slightly indulgent. The product feels nostalgic and comforting, but the long list of refined flours, emulsifiers, maltodextrin/dextrose and colorants points to industrial formulation for a very soft texture, uniform crumb and extended shelf-life (NOVA hints).

Common Questions about Brioche Butter Rolls, 12 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a moving target! These rolls are low in calories and free from artificial sweeteners, which is a plus. However, they do contain refined flour and added sugars, so while they can fit into a balanced diet, they might not be the best choice if you're looking for something high in fiber or protein.
